# who did NOT get an A = 115-12 = 103
-----
Percent who did not get an A = 103/115 = 0.896 = 89.6%

Of 115 students got an A, so (115-12)=103 did not get an A
112 is (112/115)(100%)= 97.4% of the class.
ANSWER If 12 of 115 students got an A, 97.4% did not get an A.
Reduce to lowest terms really makes no sense when speaking of a percentage, but the terms of 112/115 are co-prime, already in simplest terms.
